we are looking out for you. >> good morning, everyone, on saturday, february 25th, the fight for michigan is on. three days before the primary, candidates are making a last push. who is on top? at this hour? we have surprising new poll results. and they show on may be running away with it. >>dave: no, the vice president stump speech ... turning into a bit of a ... a snooze fest. a kid dozing off as the president tries to push the new plan for college students. >> the war on smokers hitting new heights, lights out on your

own property, in one town. "fox & friends" begins right now. we have dueling screens pause it is the spring fishing classic from bass pro on the right side of the screen. what a mild winter we have had. >>dave: on the left, the super bowl of nascar, daytona 500 this weekend. we are live there all morning. with a few of the drivers, and the big news is danica and what is happening in her career. >>alisyn: and now, right to politics, obviously it will be a big week with the michigan primary in arizona, so, mitt romney, obviously, michigan is a must win primary for him for a couple of reasons.

it awards 30 delegates and it is his home state. if he lost that, it would be a crushing blow. the good news is that after the debate on thursday night, his numbers are, and these are freshly release the rasmussen poll, his numbers are back on top. >> mitt romney getting a nice surge after the debate performance on the 22nd of this week with 40 percent. santorum needed to hit a home run during the debate and a lot people thought he dropped the ball and did not capitalize open his recent three primary win or caucus win a few weeks ago. >>dave: either way, this is going the distance when you look how the delegate count will break down and psychological it would be devastating if romney loses in his home state. newt gingrich lowering his own expectations. he seems to think mom will do very well on tuesday.

>> the winner i think in michigan and arizona will be romney and santorum second. when romney goes negative and he buys enough advertising he is formidable and i think this will be a decent day for romney. >>alisyn: depends on whether you think the surge is because he has gone negative. or because of the debate performance. people think that moved the needle. when people were polled after, 33 percent thought romney won, versus 13 percent for santorum. and 9 percent for newt gingrich. >> but the spending if michigan was not a gingrich and romney situation. rick santorum spent a lot of money. >> he had a valuable point flooding the airway with the ads. but romney out of the campaign trail yesterday in the detroit

economic club, and it was interesting that ford field had to be moved from a smaller venue. but, first, this is the first unscripted moment during the detroit economic club event. look at screen, a hot of reporters were there and they remarked how vast this place was, and, look, licks is about perception, right, so you have a back-and-forth, the white house tweaking why did they do it there, and romney campaign firing back, well, we moved it, we had to. >>alisyn: the detroit economic club said they sold out 1,200 tickets quickly and they needed a bigger venue. so they got this big venue and they may have overshot. >> my high school in pennsylvania would have had, you could soviet that in the gym. >>dave: it was a strange move but here is what romney said yesterday in terms of his economic map forgetting us back

on track. >> i love this country. i should love this state. it feels good being back in michigan. the trees are the right height, the streets are just right, i like the fact that most of the cars i see are detroit-made automobiles, i drive a mustang and a health pickup and my wife drives a couple of cadillacs, actually, and i used to have a dodge truck so i had all three covers. >> that was the unscripted moment. >> a last the legal talk shows layed that sunday pit, "i like cars, i like trees," and he --. >> you do not say that in a prepared speech. >>alisyn: mitt romney is rich. where is the shame in it. his wife has two s.u.v.'s, well, they are rich. what is the problem? by new we know that. >>dave: if you are surprised

bit fact that she has a couple of cadillacs you have not been listening to the narrative. he is rich. this doesn't hurt in terms of any surprise here. but, again, the optics of the day did not go exactly. his campaign team has been top notch. that was not their best day. >> and senator santorum had this to say of his endorsement in 2008 of mitt romney. take a listen. >> my endorsement, you know what, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. i supported emergency when it was down to romney and john mccain. i knew john mccain and what kind of conservative would be and i landed with romney and he proved me wrong. he endorsed the "wall street journal" -- the wall street bailouts. >>alisyn: he said he endorsed

him well after romney care, so, now, he is changing his tune. >> and calling him the most conserve testify candidate. here is video of pancakes together, sharing pancakes, and this will was in 2008 enjoying opinion cakes together. >>alisyn: you are family. >>dave: and santorum called romney saying he will stand up for conservative principles we held dear and this was well after romney care was instituted in michigan. that could come back to hand him. >>alisyn: does paying taxes, does paying more taxes than you currently are, is that the patriotic thing to do? are you a good american doing your duty if you volunteer or you believe in paying more taxes? geithner alluded to something leak that this week in which he said, basically, that is what americans should feel good about

doing. >> don't try to subsequent rate more revenue for tax reform if you doesn't ask the most fortunate americans to bear a larger burden for the riff of being american, then you have to have unacceptably deep cuts and benefits for middle class seniors oren separably deep cuts if national security. >> one person who agrees with that sentiment and that is vice president biden. back in 2007 saying paying taxes is patriotic. >> time to jump in, time to be part of the tell, time to help get america out of the rut and the way to do that --. >>alisyn: let me, he did not say it meant you were a good american but for the privilege of be american maybe you should be more. he is not alone. that is the debate. warren buffett has said

something similar to that, and as i well know, there is a lot portion of americans that don't pay federal income tax. here are the numbers for you. back in 1962, 23.7 percent of the country did not pay federal income tax. it dipped there as you can see in 1970 but it has chimed since that to the point where it is almost 50 percent today. >>dave: it is staggering when you look at the increase. 15 percent in just over a decade. why is it increasing so rapidly? we will ask michael graham who is a columnist for boston herald and a radio talk show host. why do we ask for the wealthy to pay more when 1/2 the country does -- when half the country does not pay. >>alisyn: and we have a breakdown of who is not paying. so stick around for that. and now, while you were

sleeping, nelson mandela was hospitalized, and the 93-year-old's privacy was asked to be respected . in 1994 he was the first black president after spending 27 years in prison for his fight against the racist apartheid rule. his public appearances have become increasingly rare and last year he was hospitalized for several days for a breathing infection. >> first cocaine and now heroin found in the uganda hotel room where a producer died this week, adding to the theory that he was a drug mule not the victim of a random poisoning. and a large amount of cocaine was found in his stomach and he may have swallowed it. the police were at his hotel door and his assistant found in

the troop, and she now is involving and the hospital reportedly will not talk about what is happening. she will be kept in the country until they decide whether to press charges. the death toll is rising in afghanistan over protests. at least seven more people were killed yesterday bringing the total to 25 people dead since tuesday. hundreds more have been winded and two u.s. soldiers were among those killed and throughs of afghan have taken to the street. president obama has apologized. >> did you remember this moment? >> if you are 65 eligible for medicare you should have to pay $6,400 more than you have to today. >> that was vice president biden caught sloping or, maybe county meditating, during one of president obama's speeches last year. >>dave: no head bob going on. >>alisyn: deep thought. it looks like --.

>>dave: this was a little head bob. >> take a look behind biden when he took the microphone at an event in north carolina you can see the guy overtime president's shoulder, struggling to stay awake and this is karma, a big hit on the intent. >> that give, can you imagine, now, you are all over the news this morning. rick? rick: don't fall asleep now it is weather time. our turn to nap. >>clayton: 50 miles per hour wind gusts; that right? rick: windy across the east coast today and it will continue and at any time we will taper off but a major storm moved through with the temperatures cooling down a lot over the last

24 hours. if atlanta it is 32 degrees colder than 24 hours ago so major changes. and 25 degrees colder in charlotte, so, a lot of colder air and it felt like spring across the northeast, down to the southeast, but this is the front that mid through and all we have left is lake effect snow flurries and heavy rain in south texas and the pacific northwest and the next storm is pulling in and heavy rain, big mountain snow and that will pull into the northern marines -- plains today. >>clayton: pay attention to this, a christian pastor sentenced to death in iran for refusing to recant his faith, so, can anything be continue to save him? >> and the i.r.s. has more than $1 billion to give out. could you be one of the many taxpayers waiting for a check? we explain.

>> the life of a 34-year-old christian pastor is in jeopardy, after sentenced to death in iran. political leaders around the world are condemning this conviction. but he could be executed at any time. so, what will it take now to set him free? the journalists and mideast expert has been following this case closely and joins us this morning. lisa, thank you for being here. what is the latest? >> the islamic regime denied everything, from the verdict, saying no execution order has been put out and at the same time denying he was charged for turning from islam and say he is being charged with rape and

other crimes. >>alisyn: the fact they say in execution order was mandated, is they are backing off of it does >>guest: when they change their tune it could mean one of two things: this is a if sign because they are changing their mind, scaling back a bit because of the international pressure, as we know it has been a huge issue around the world. and, second, it could be something that could actually be worse, because they could execute him on this rape and other crimes they are alleging. >>alisyn: the state department came out this week and demanded or asked for his release and this has gotten international outcry. what can be done? >>guest: so, international outcry and international pressure is the best we can do, the united states has no diplomatic ties with the iranian regime and we are looking for another country, another player to be the pivotal player here and to negotiate for his

release. any country that has a large enough christian population could help him, or they understand the severity of this case. and, they would then speak out on if of the global community. but this has reached so many countries that are joining the campaign to free him and there is a tweak with under a million twitter accounts. so this is working. we have to apply the pressure. >>alisyn: do you thing he will be saved? >>guest: this can go obviously, in two possible directions. he is an icon. they will make a statement around this case. it could be that we will free him and we are ben ever length or they can say, look, this is with we are, flecking our muscles and we will be men of

our words and this is strike against christianity and against the west, the war of ideology. >>alisyn: please keep us posted. president obama rolling out a new plan to cut tax rates for corporations. but, will it actually end up hurting rather than helping pull business owners? then, lights out on your own property? the war on smokers is going to a the war on smokers is going to a new extreme.

>>clayton: president obama has a new tax proposal, simplifying the tax code eliminating dozens of tax loopholes. will it save corporations tax or hurt small businesses? >> so, we will ask that question, does this help small business owners? >> not remetly close. what happens, it further gives the uncertainty to the small business owner, and it value dates that the administration has a great handle on big corporations and what they need. that is fabulous because they part of a landscape but what he is missing is 60 percent of job growth comes from small business and it does not address the needs for small business but hurts them. we are saying you do not understand how we function, day-to-day with our own employees, and, heres again, they show they do not have a

clue. >>clayton: some republicans are saying this is a good first step and others saying businesses are falling through the lop home -- the loophole cracks. >>guest: first, the fundamental thing toed in -- to understand about small business owners, they are taxed byville tax rate. if you do not do overall reform you did not help the small businesses, so, simplifying the individual tax rate, a big corporation does not go under individual tax rate, that is a different code. so, what we need is reform on our side. it is complicated: he did not completely fix the problem but togetherred it so you took a complicated system, it makes it a little less but you have to figure a way through it telling

the small business owners to put more administration hours to figure it out. >>clayton: so you are a small business owner, do you hire an additional person to handle the paperwork now? >>guest: not if it was simplifies it would be 1,000 time done, but it is so complicated we have to outsource it. i don't know if what my tax guy it is legitimate because i cannot check the work. is, hours of accumulating this stuff, which is new our administration work, and another guy does it and we help he knows what he is doing to get the best deduction and now the doses, we only had a few, most of them apply to big corporations but the few that asupplied to small businesses they are gone is now i will pay more, it is more complicated you and did not address my major issue and i employ 60 percent of the new job growth. >>clayton: you know your stuff. the president, on the large

corporation side is doing what he can but small business is still a long way to go to figure that out. great to see you. coming up, he says can you not drill your way to lower gas prices so is algae the answer?

drilling saying that is all their answer is for the republicans, drilling, drilling, drilling, not offering green initiative jobs and ideas. he also hit on an interesting idea, algae. >>dave: speaking of green. >> we are making new investments in the investment of gasoline and jet fuel, made from a plant like substance, algae. you got a bunch of algae out here, right? if we can figure out how to make energy out of that we will be doing all right. believe it or not we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel that we can grow right here in the united states. >>clayton: algae? algae? >>dave: that was not the joke. >>alisyn: the algae part, that

is funny, but, the park to we can figure out how to turn it in interest fuel it will work really well. well, that's --. >>clayton: a number of experts, i have read this stuff about algae and they have managed to figure how they can make biofuels out of it, no more odd that corn. >>dave: but let's try to bring the rice of gas down and do all we can to extract the oil we can right here in our own borders. newt gingrich picked up on the am gentleman line and had fun with it. >> my favorite part of the president's speech explaining drilling went self it. what will solve it is algae. now, i'm trying to get a jar of algae for my speech tomorrow because i figure the national

press corps won't be able to resist. >>clayton: you can combine the moon colony with algae ... >>dave: for newt gingrich to call something "weird," it must be out there. >>alisyn: send us an e-mail at foxandfriends.com. and now military is release the name of seven marines killed in the helicopter training accident this week including major tom butrecko, a husband and a father, and lance corps, who left a widow pregnant with his first child. most were killed when the two helicopters collided midair over the california desert and the military is trying to figure out what caused the corporators to crash. the i.r.s. is calling on those who did not file 2008 tax runs

gagging their -- are gagging their -- grabbing their guns. >>dave: the trend is besting the economy and up 42 percent. and a woman who recently got a gun in washington, dc, a "washington times" columnist. it took longer to get the gun permit than you imagined. but the numbers are through the roof. you say even more are participating in shooting. >>guest: well, really, the numbers are at highest, ever, 43 percent of women, now, report they have a gun not home and one if four women personally own a gun and it is like guns are cool, in a lot of ways but it is both parallelling the overall sales of gun, gun ownership, the highest in the united states, and, also, we have women who want to defend themselves, and it has gotten to be not so much

a man's thing to defend them but women can do it. too. >>alisyn: you wanted a gun and you had a heck of a time getting one, what were the obstacles? >>guest: washington, dc has the west in terms, the worst laws in the country in terms of getting a legal gun. in order to get it it took me four months and $450 in fees and several days off work. so, i could not count the levels of frustration it took me. i finally got it, and i have been to the shooting range, and you know what, it is worth it because it is a blast to shoot a gun. >>alisyn: pun intended. >>dave: is it about protection or about sport in why are so many more women grabbing guns today? >>guest: mostly about protection. crime in washington, dc, crime just this year in the first two months is up 40 percent, violent crime, so, with guns, it is

mostly self protection in this country. but, also it is about a demonstration that is very antigun and the numbers have gone up during the obama administration, both in terms of people buying guns, federal background checks, the f.b.i., and manufacturers, and one of the few publicly traded companies, gun manufacturers, we know their numbers they have such a back order, and their stocks are threw the roof, they cannot supply their back order so if you order a gun it will take months. same thing for another gun company, seven straight years of higher sales which has never happened and the company is 500 years old. >>alisyn: now that people are into guns they are doing things like marketing pink guns and pink holders, is this cute or demeaning? >>guest: well, personally, pink is my favorite color but

when i ordered a gun i want add again that would scare someone, and i want add gun that the bad guys, high gosh she has a gone so i got a big fullize 9 millimeter that is black and silver and no misstating my gun is lethal weapon. >>alisyn: not a lipstick holder. thank you for sharing your personal experience. very cool. >>guest: ali, you think about getting a gun, too. >>dave: we don't want her packing heat. coming up, caught on camera, a bus driver attacked but now he is the one in trouble suspended for not just waiting for help. is this fair?

>>alisyn: one of the most talked about movies of the year "act of valor," starring real life navy seals that are active duty. the rest of the movie is just as intense, joining us, now, are the directors of the policemen.

gentleman, thank you for being here. so, i have the pleasure of seeing this movie about a month ago and it has haunted me. in a good way. i told my family about it because it is a real life changer of a movie. what makes it so powerful? >>guest: it is such a unique experience because you are not watching an actor lay a character and it has a subconscious reaction. that invests the audience more in the movie because it is not fake. it is real. >>alisyn: you used real life active duty seals, guys would normally avoid the spotlight. >>guest: we had to around their trust. look inside their community and explore what telling their story would look like, and we were blown appear, we thought it was

mythology, but, remember, ten years of sustained combat deployment on this community so the stories that come from that as filmmakers we had for tell them. >>alisyn: you never see the sack credit first back at home. >>guest: that is the real heroes. and we got immersed in the culture to see what the wives go through raising their children and we wanted to show that in the film and people see the sacrifice from the entire family. >>alisyn: although you have a milk name of "mouse," you are former tough gives and you were stunt men, so, what was the most intense part of filming? >>guest: it was rewarding to be challenged and to have your background and history as a professional stuntman to be in the middle of the live exercises. so it was fantastic opportunity

does not equate. >>guest: we are not not military and never have been and we financed the policemen and this is not a propaganda film. so, can you understand why people say that because they have not seen the movie and we say hold your opinion until you see the movie. >>alisyn: these guys go back to their life as navy seals, back to duty after this, there is no basking in the after glow of this great movie for them. scott and mike, a great movie, thank you for joining and explaining "acts of valor." >>clayton: are americans raising a generation of helpless kids? my guest says "yes," and we need to let them fail.

(bike bell) >>alisyn: three days before the michigan primary the going candidates making a final push and reports show that mitt could runaway with it. >>dave: don't worry about voting the election is over. the white house doubling down on president obama's grant he will have five more years to fix the country. what do you think? >>clayton: he was the one attacked but a but driver is suspended from his job. watch this video. you have to hear his story coming up. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now.

>>alisyn: still a good morning, we have bass pro here on the right side, with their spring fishing classic. and we are all going to be fishing on the plaza later on today. >>clayton: spring is almost here. >>dave: you should see how ali fishes. >>clayton: we are like in daytona beach, florida, the biggest race of the year. >> i don't remember if they changed the start, if they say gentleman and lady, start your engines. they have to i assume. danica is not new to the racing circuit but making her debut, she will be the entire story. people, start your engines.

people, start your engine. >> we will have more on that coming up, but, first, politics, because there week is a big primary in michigan. and, all eyes on that and arizona. but for romney michigan, is, really, a big moment for him. if you look at the new poll numbers, he has gotten a bunch from the debate on when. he gets 40 percent to santorum's 40 percent, and 10 percent to ron paul and 9 percent to newt gingrich taken on the heels of the debate and people were asked if the debate moved the needle for them, and many said, yes, they believed a third of the respond antis believed that mitt romney won that debate and it changed their vote, they told rasmussen. >>dave: you wonder if they thought it was romney's performance or santorum's flub,

about the team sports comment. i don't if that swayed the voter. >>alisyn: he was winning. rick santorum on monday night, three days of budget debate, he was ahead of romney by 38 percent to 34 percent so something changed. >>clayton: something shifted. and romney, yesterday, at ford field and an interesting backdrop address the detroit economic club in talking about the economic policies basically trying to rally the city of detroit. take a listen. >> i am not promising every day will be easy or there will not be sacrifice and hard work but i am promising every day is on track to get things better and better, i have the best chance, the only chance, and some people this morning, reading twitter, some are trying to compare what the ford field choice was like, to howard dean's screen moment following iowa. >>dave: strange comparison, but you would rather have a

packed small house than a 65,000 person football field. >>alisyn: in the face of a couple of hours all 1,200 seats sold out and they needed, they decided a bigger venue. >> so politics are perception and that is the issue and the applause was hard to hear. so the applause lines that you could not hear. >>dave: romney is on fox news sunday tomorrow so that will be a question for chris wallace. mitt romney is the man that san sap endorsed just four years ago and that is one thing that is being held against him saying that mitt romney ws the man to best represent conservative principles after, of course, the passage of romney care in massachusetts. rick santorum talked about his support for mitt romney on

friday. >> my endorsesment, you know what, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shale on me. i supported mitt romney when it was down to romney and john mccain, i knew john mccain, and i knew what kind of conservative would be, so i went with romney and he proved me wrong. he endorsed the wall street bailout and for big government programs there. >>alisyn: no comment should use that politician, they get tripped up, and i love that expression, fool me once, i love that express. but you are calculating. that is first thing. here is what is happening. rick santorum, some people, i am one, think he is being candid. here is what has happened in four years. here is how i explain the evolution but people did not like it. they said he is losing support. because of how he voted and how he spoored romney.

>>clayton: and in 2008 they were arm in arm having pancakes together, romney and santorum and here they are at a campaign stop in 2008, sitting down and enjoying breakfast pancakes and santorum called it a representative of conservative values and the conservative alternative to john mccain. >>dave: and the other man, newt gingrich, remember when he said, i am going to be the nominee, his overconfidence turned some people off. do we want overconfidence in our elected officials? president obama is very confident heel be back not office. >>alisyn: he is the president when he was asked how he has not accomplished his agenda on immigration. >> i have another five years coming up, we will get this done. >>alisyn: you can make the agent you do want your president to be confident. you do not want to feel like you are the lame duck leader.

i don't know if i have it in me to win. you are president. of course he has to say. >> but do you take it for granted that reelection is inevitable. that is the problem with incumbency. this inevitability of always being there. it has an air of i'm always here and i will be here. >> this is the same president who said not long ago he would rather be a very good one term president than an average two term president and said he would get things turned around in the first year so i don't know if this gel but the spokesman for the president standing by his man. >> the president is confident about would vision is best for the future of this country, about which person will be a president over the course of four years between 2013 and 2017

to put in place the economic policies that will ensure middle class families get a fair shake, that when we compare the president's vision for achieving an economy that fulfills those values he will win. >>dave: that was not james carney but his second in command. >>alisyn: do you think the president is being confident or taking it for granted? and now, something new. antiapartheid icon, nelson mandela has been admitted to the hospital. he was hospitalized last year for breathing infection. and he continued to receive treatment at home after being discharged. he is considered the founding father of south africa's democracy, was last seen in public during the closing certificate point of the 2010 world cup. >> if you details in the death of a producer, police are saying they found bags of heroin in the hotel room where he died, and

this proves their theory that he was a drug mule, not the victim of a random poisoning. the medical examiner found a large amount of cocaine in his stomach. police believe he may have swallowed it. and also in the room, a woman was found passed out, but she is not talking about what happened and police will keep her in the country until they decide whether to press charges. >> it will hurt more next time you fill up at the pump. gas prices while you were sleeping shot up another three cents with the average of $3.67, a 14-cent hike in a week. and 30 cents higher from a month ago. california has skyrocketed 25 cents to $4.25 and diesel is more than $4 a gallon and many americans are outraged, and

president obama says there is no magic bullet to fix the problem. >> he was kicked in the head and stabbed with a pe next while trying to stop a passenger on his bus with a knife. but the 39-year-old driver did not follow protocol, he should have waited for assistance and not confronted the passenger who was attacking him, and he said he was trying to stop a heated argument over a cell phone and he -- she was charged and the bus company is investigating. >>alisyn: you should be able to defend yourself and not wait for someone to come on the bus and help you. >>clayton: someone attacks me with a pen i will not just wait for the cell phone call to get the police there. rick: you thought it was

spring, right? winter is back. winter storm moving in and tonight and tomorrow, it moves in and we will see up to 8" of snow. and this is another storm for tuesday that looks like it could be potent with windy conditions and snow, but, across the west we had the storms yesterday and seven reports of tornadoes across georgia and south carolina and that is gone and this is the tail end of the front, and that is far south texas and any rain in texas is good rain and the storm into the pacific northwest and we had record breaking warm temperatures in california and that will change and it will have a return to winter. the high temperatures today, 30 in minneapolis and no one looking that bad, tomorrow we see the cold air moving into the northern plains and that will move across the south. guys? >>dave: neck and neck for the race for the g.o.p. nominee but a chance of a brokered

>>clayton: the race to the g.o.p. nomination is neck in neck. if it stays this way there could

be a brokered convention or an open convention in august. but not karl rove, he said this. >> are you now willing to say this is a possible thing? >>guest: as remote as life on pluto. >> my next guest says rove is wrong. >> joining is a political strategist. you disagree with karl rove. >>guest: it will not be the first time he has been wrong. i wrote this week i thought it was possible, not likely but possible to have a brokered convention, a convention in which no one has enough votes on the first ballot and, therefore, a combination of the candidates form a ticket to produce a nominee, or an open convention in which a candidate emerges in big, late primaries, california, new jersey, new york and goes to the convention as a dark horse, both of them are possible.

>> rove says it math does not add up? >> you have more proportional primaries this time than four years ago, so, for example, in georgia, if newt gingrich won georgia, or santorum, they will not sweep all the delegates and there will be proportional delegates for romney and the other candidates. so some of the folks like ron paul can get a number of the delegates without actually winning the states. >>guest: so, continuing to split the feel. from the beginning romney has had an enormous advantage of split opposition. the fact that conservatives have been unable to coalesce around any one candidate has allowed him to win a plurality but romney has never gotten 50 percent. >>clayton: why are we talking about this? because there is dissatisfaction with the republican race? the republican field right now? so there is the idea that at the

last minute governor chriscy could throw his hat into the ring? or sarah palin, her hat into the wing? ocean donald trump. this is great dissatisfaction. 63 percent of republicans wish there was another candidate. so the inestibility and the electability of romney has come into question. so, i think the party is not in love with any of the candidates and they are if love with the idea of beating president obama so if a candidate like a chris christie or daniels or donald trump emerge you could have a lot of excitement. >> you disagree with karl rove it is a possibility of brokered? >>guest: i agree with karl rove it is unlikely but you sit down with a calendar and numbers and states like new york and new jersey and texas where rick santorum still leads, it is

entirely possible. >>clayton: are american parents leading a generation of helpless kids? my guest says yes. you decide.  it's time to get going.

>>alisyn: first, $70 billion is the estimated amount of money for prescription drug abuse

costs the united states in a year. the problem is now "an epidemic," and 67 percent of women admit "unfriending people," on facebook. finally, $2.10 was last year's average pay out by the tooth fairy, and show is felling the economic slump down from $2.50 kids received in 2010. dave, take note. >>dave: are we raising a generation of helpless kids? my guest is the author of "generation i why," our last chance to save their future. good morning, tim. we are all guilty of this, you are looking at the most guilty parent, around, in terms of rewarding the kids and you want temperature to build that

self-esteem, we do not wait kids wait. what is the problem with that? where does it hurt them later if life? >>guest: i thought as i looked at the students we worked with, we will not late them fail, fear , fight, or fall and we want them to be happy. but long term, the adult world does not work that way and when we graduate we are moving into a world where the bosses doesn't care if you showed up for class on top. >>dave: you have to avoid this. let kids fail. describe that. >>guest: early on, if kids are in a contempt of love and support and they believe you and love you, with a skinned knee, on the lay ground or failing a

test, i got an e-mail last year from a professor that said sheehaned back the first set of test and a girl got a c minus and she never got a c minus so she has a meltdown in class. well, with a meltdown, everyone, looks around, and she pulls her phone and starts texting mom in class. mom texts back and says call me right away. she calls mom right there in choose. next thing, she wants to talk to you. so mom can negotiate a b minus rather than a c minus. >>dave: parent has is not good. tip two, be a develop have it covered brick. >>guest: we have created images and the develop have it covered brick is a way of saying, on the outside lots of support and love, i believe in you, but, brick on the inside, we are leading this family by values and principles and we

will not make it easy, we underchallenge the kids today. we made it simple. >>dave: tip three, let kids be independent according to their age. tip four, when a child is young, parents should impart on them they are loved and it is special. >>guest: there are two sets of messages. first ten years, you are loved, valued, you are safe. but the next tenders, life is difficult. and you are not that important and it is not about you. in the contest of love that is important. teens, i am afraid we saying, you are all awesome. a most recent report shows 80 percent of college students plan to move back home because they are not ready. >>dave: it is okay to say

"no." >>guest: my mom and dad said, see you, have a great life we will pray for you. prepare to live a life where your parents are not needed. >>dave: great tips in this book. thank you. privacy? what privacy? shoppers get ready for stores to know your face when you walk through the door.

>>clayton: maybe it is after lunch. >>dave: never have the speeches at 3:00 in the afternoon. >>alisyn: a man fell asleep and he was positioned right behind the vice president, they put him up there and he is snoozing away. and the content of the speech, of what joe biden was saying. >>dave: this is perfect. >> it is clear that america is tired of being tired. the american people have decided it is time to get up. time to get in. we're tired of being tired and told that we are in a long, slow, drift. >>clayton: i am tired. you are very sleepy. you are very sleepy. you are very tired. >>dave: the guy kind of woke

up. you cannot make this stuff up. >>alisyn: the vice president does not realize his powers of persuasion. >>dave: and they had the background behind him so he had somewhere to rest the head. >>clayton: from long meeting. >>alisyn: it looks like you are reading. >>alisyn: i do have some headlines and we have a fox news alert. two american advisors have been killed in afghanistan. this happened at the interior ministry in kabul and we do not know what led to the shooting, the advisors were involved in a training mission, and this comes as a 5th straight day of protests in afghanistan and thousands have taken to the street after koran as were burned at a u.s. military base and 28 people have been killed in the protests no word on

whether this is connected. and a christian pastor's life is hanging in the balance, after being sentenced to death for refusing to recant his religious beliefs and turn back to islam. the political leaders are condemning the conviction. is that enough to set him free? we were joined by our guest with more on the matter this morning. >>guest: this can go in two possible directions. it could be that, look, we will free him, we are benevolent or they can execute him and they will say this is who we are, we will be men of our words and this is a strike against christianity and the west. >>alisyn: he is just 34 with a wife and two children. a creepy case of life imitating washington, some of america's laws will look like this scene from "minority report."

maine feel like a prom date. >> swift responded to kevin and the bad news is she says she can't go to the prom with him. but the good news is, she invited him to be her date at academy of country music awards, instead. that is even better. he accepted and said it is better than he hoped. >>dave: he is not sure his health will be good enough. rick: prom, academy country music awards. not bad. and now a look at the maps, a cool start to the morning, feels like winter, maybe, compared to this week. 39 in dallas, and we had temperatures this week into the mid-and-upper 80's in texas and feeling like summer and that is gone after the cold front. today, across areas of the northeast, we will see left over snow from the storm that moved through yesterday account winds

kicking up, and lake affect snow but temperatures not that bad and right around average, 43 in new york, where you should be this time of year and windy at times and to the south we are talking about a cooler day than yesterday with temperatures 20 degrees to 30 degrees lower with rain across south texas and areas of florida. miami is still nice at 80. and the northern plains, we will see the snow move into merchandised in and, tonight, into areas of men and women and across the west, a big storm in the pacific northwest and 1' to 2' of snow in los seattle. >> and the annual spring fishing classic at bass pro shop. the best professional bass

>>clayton: brand new reports of an attack outside the presidential palace in yemen. a homicide bomber killing 20 people, coming moments after the brand new president took office miles away. the leader known to be tough against al qaeda and our extremists. and a month after being criticize for revealing she has

type two diabetes paula deen is planning to offer lighter versions of her recipes but did not expect her to swear off butter altogether. guys? >> don't you dare. the president hitting the campaign trail with his message on leveling the playing field. >> everyone should get a fair shot. and everyone should do their fair share. >> fair share. >> fair share. >> pay their fair share. >> fair share. >> everyone doing their part. >> fair share. >>alisyn: only half actually are doing their part, with 49.5 percent of people in the united states are paying no federal income tax. >>dave: we have radio talk show host from boston this morning. michael, the trend that is

surprising is to see in 2000 it was 34 percent of people paying no federal income tax, why the dramatic increase? >>guest: well, go back to the evil reagan time when the itch are getting richer, 85 percent of all americans filed an income tax return where they paid some money, and only 15 percent paid no money or were dependent open someone else. and it is an astonishing change. one thing to look at is the economic downturn from 2008. we have never had numbers like this in the modern times. with the food stamp president who has done actively making it easier for people to get on food stamps and get on medicaid and we opened up poverty program to the middle class and the net result is you have more people taking from the system and fewer people giving. the notion of an america where the minority pay all the bills,

and majority pay nothing, is that even america the bay we understand it? it seems like a fundamental change. >>alisyn: that is a shocking newspaper: 50 percent of americans not paying federal income tax. looking at who the 50 percent are, what their demographic is and the tax policy center did that for us, and they say 44 percent of them are elderly, on a fixed income, usually social security. and 30 percent of the low income working poor, a couple with two kids making less than $26,000. and, 26 percent are mostly high income people who take those charitable deductions and north deductions and tax kits -- credits, so who should pay more of those groups? >>guest: i do not advocate we take money randomly but the proposal miss that people pay

nothing into the system, you say the elderly, they are the elderly poor and elderly affluent, the wealthiest age group in america are those 60 and older. >>alisyn: should they pay more? 44 percent of the elderly are not paying, which of this group that isn't paying should be coughing up more money? >>guest: first of all, i don't want anyone to pay more to the wait will federal government for more bailouts and ridiculous government programs. but there is a point where if you have 45 people of the people paying all the bills the other 55 percent have no incentive to do anything about government spending because they pay nothing. how can you have $1.2 trillion deficit four years in a row? because the number of people who get the money is as big as those who pay the money. i want more people and i would love the idea of lower tax breaks for everyone across the board but more people paying in

like in 1984 when 85 percent of the people paid in. win win will your former governor win or lose in michigan? >>guest: he will win in michigan and arizona and the republican primary will be over. it will be mitt. the trees are the right height when mitt is around. >>dave: michael graham, thank you. >>alisyn: he says you cannot drill your way to lower gas prices. is algae the answer?

>>alisyn: good morning, everyone, we have a fox news alert, because two americans have been killed in a deadly shooting in afghanistan. this as protests continue over the burning of the korans but after a round of apologies from the united states should president obama be demanding one over the deaths of american soldiers there? >>dave: the fight on for the state of michigan. three days before the crucial primary and the latest poll results show mitt romney gaining new momentum, but will a campaign stumble cost him the win against the republican rivals? we will have the latest details from michigan. >> it is time to be patriotic,

time to jump in, time to be part of the deal. >>clayton: and geithner takes it a step further, and "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >>dave: good saturday morning, everyone, we are getting you fired up. the inside of a new car from ford like at daytona 500 for the super bowl of nascar which is tomorrow. live updates all morning, and on the right. >>guest: bass pro shop for the spring fishing classic today through march 11th. there are seminars so bring the kids out and learn how to catch and release. >>alisyn: dave and i will be fishing.

you cannot actually see me but i am here. >>dave: don't wear grown clothes in front of the green screen. >>clayton: and now politics, all eyes on michigan and arizona, specifically, michigan for romney next week, and good news. a new rasmussen poll, a fresh poll, and this comes after the big debate in arizona on thursday night. >>alisyn: he has 40 percent of vote in michigan to the 34 percent and ron paul has ten percent and newt gingrich get as boost after a debate only has 9 percent and just on monday, three days prior to the debate, rick santorum was leading with 38 percent and romney had 36 percent.

>>dave: the quirks of michigan you could win more delegates by coming in, in second place because of a strange situation. we will not before you to death but romney just need as win. he spoke on friday about the economic plan. he did it as a massive empty for field football stadium. which the optics did not hit it out of the park and neither did some of the things he said. >> i love this country. i should love this state. this feels good. being back in michigan. the trees are the right height. the streets are right. i like the fact that most of the cars i see are detroit-made automobiles. i drive a mustang and a chevrolet pickup and my wife drives a couple of cadillacs, actually, and i used to have a dodge truck so i had all three coughed.

>>clayton: and again, the optics, bizarre afternoon because you are in a giant football stadium compacted down to one section of the field and they released the details so when the reporters showed up they knew the details of the speech and what did the reporters do? they took pictures pictures andd the empty field. >>alisyn: as though there should be shame in his success as far as financially. the audience was not upset to hear that his wife could have two cars. at this point it looks as if romney is winning in michigan and even newt gingrich believes that will happen. >> the two frontrunners in michigan, romney will come first in michigan and arizona and

santorum in second. santorum is discovering when romney goes negative and he buys enough advertising she formidable, and, so, this will probably be a decent day for romney. >>clayton: and newt gingrich mocking president obama yesterday for part of his discussion yesterday about investment in green technology and biofuels, all the talk obviously about the gallon of gas average price at $3.67 a gallon. yesterday the president touted algae. >> we make new investments in the development of gasoline and jet fuel made from a plant-like substance. algae. you got a bunch of algae out here, right? if we can figure out how to make energy from that, we, be doing

all right. believe it or not we could replace up to 17 percent of the oil we import for transportation with this fuel we can grow right here in the united states. >>dave: and the gas is highest ever at this time of year and a view said this has cause the chevrolet to develop the ford "mold." >>alisyn: a lost marketing they can do on this. or drink am joe. are you drinking algae? it is motoring your engine. >>clayton: all morning long. the president could be on to something. this is algae in here. can you believe that?

>> do you have catchy headlines for the algae initiative? send them to "fox & friends" at foxandfriends.com and on twitter. >>alisyn: now, fox news has learned that two u.s. advisors have been killed in afghanistan. the shooting happened in kabul. they were there on a training mission. the cause of the shooting is unclear. and this attack comes as thousands take to the streets after the korans were burned at a u.s. military base in afghanistan. at least 28 people have been killed and two u.s. soldiers were among those killed. and first cocaine and now heroin found in the hotel room where a producer died this week. police say this lends to the theory that he was a drug mule not the victim of a random poisoning like others have suggested.

and a large amount of cocaine was found in his stomach. his assistant was also found in that room passed out, cold, and he is recovering at the hospital burr reportedly not talking about what happened and police say they will keep her in the country until they decide whether to press charges. the i.r.s. sending out a last call for people who did not file their 2008 tax returns, saying they still have $1 billion in unclaimed refunds and the cash is likely left over from people who forgot to file ... or thought they would not be entitled to a refund. if that is you the deadline is april 17. i think they will just arrest you for not filing your 2008 returns. >>dave: you are always a step ahead. >>clayton: and now rick and

the forecast. rick: did you think it was spring like this week? >>dave: i was ice skating 60 degrees at rock center. rick: hopefully not on the pond. the difference of 24 hours, it is 32 degrees colder in atlanta from yesterday at this time. and a lot colder air moving in and warming up across the west, and we had big storms yesterday with tornadoes in georgia and south carolina and the front has rain showers across florida and stretched back into texas and heavy snow, some of the batches of snow coming off the lakes are causing near zero visibility so be careful. across the west there is a storm putting into the pacific northwest today, the snow will be on the increase, and we have all kinds of winter storm

warnings and this afternoon it moves across the areas of the northern plains and tomorrow afternoon, around 5" to 8" of snow in north dakota and minnesota. winter is still here. >>clayton: and does it mean if you are good american if you pay more in taxes than you should? i am not sure what that means. here is vice president biden back in 2008. >> time to be patriotic and time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help america get out of the rut. >>alisyn: he was saying time to pay more taxes for the wealthiest, that is patriotic and geithner has said something that has echoes of that, not saying it is patriotic but "for

the privilege of being an american." >> if you don't try to generate more revenue or tax reform and doesn't ask the most important to bear a larger burden for the privilege of being america, the way to achieve fiscal sustainable is deep cuts for middle class seniors or unacceptably deep cuts in national security. >>dave: pay more for the bring of being an american. look at the numbers and you decide. are the wealthy paying their fair share? right now, 49.5 percent of american taxpayers today do not pay a lick of federal income tax, a 15 percent jump from a decade. this is not to say the poor should pay more but how do you ask the wealthy to pay more with that number. >>alisyn: a tough debate our country has been embroiled in for a year.

obviously sit a privilege to be an american and it is worth paying for. >>dave: to what end? >>alisyn: what is the number? everyone is willing, i think, to pay something, to be an american but what is that number when, obviously, the wealthy are shouldering the lions share of the income tax. it continues. you heard michael graham state best thing is to revise the tax code. >>clayton: and michele bachmann talked about this on the campaign trail, and you recall many, many americans do not pay any income taxes. let us know what you think of this at "fox & friends" and continuing in afghanistan, protests are continues over the burning of the koran. and president obama apologizing for it. but should he? we report.

>> secretary panetta and president obama have in different forms expressed their apology on behalf of the american people and the american military to the afghan people to articulate that the united states military and the american people have enduring respect for the religious views or practices of the afghan people. definite dave considering the fact that americans have been killed in retaliation, should president obama be asking for an apology rather than giving one? joining us is a resident scholar at the american enterprise institute the should the president have apologiesed considering the fact that two americans were killed to retaliation and at least another this morning? >>guest: well, the president should have apologized, this was not like bowing down to the saudi king, but the president did not go far enough. more than 70 percent of the civilian casualties in

afghanistan are called by the taliban which have bummed mosques in which korans have been burned, and so the president should have said, this is the real problem in afghanistan and gone on the offense. >> we should point out this was a mistake and we were not intending to bun the korans and they supposed to be disposed of in another way and it is thought that in the korans were messages from extremists passing them to others. charles krauthammer last night said this about the apology. >>guest: this is a world where no one asked the group of the 56 islamic countries to issue an apology when christians are attacked and churches are burned in egypt or, pa stand. and have we heard a word from any leader about the radicals in

nigeria who are burning women and children in churches. >>guest: charles is right but two wrongs don't make a right. the president was right to apologize. we look at kabul, for example, the capital of afghanistan, a city of five million people, the protesters have only managed to have 1,000 people come out on the street. that is small by any standards, so despite the radicals being fanned up by iran and pakistan and the taliban most afghans have put this behind him and want to concentrate on something else. >>dave: but we still see this violence and nato official, an american killed. where does it get us as a country? where does it impetus to -- get us to apologize to karzai? >>guest: president obama needs to hold his feet to the fire. people for get in 1995 when the

clinton administration wanted to pass messages to the taliban they represented they turned was karzai, so we need to say karzai you have to stop fanning the flames but we cannot simply say it was because of the koran incident that the two american soldiers or, perhaps, the two advisors in the men city of interior of killed because the taliban have been trying to infiltrate the afghanistan security forces and the much greater problem we face is a timeline which has convinced the afghans we don't have staying power. afghans have never lost a war, they defect to the winning side. >>dave: thank you, do you think the united states should apologize? more news ahead. it's time to get going.

to have the energy to turn a "to do" list into a memory. to put more giddy-up in our get-along. to keep stepping up even in overtime. it's time to start gellin' with dr. scholl's... ... and mix a little more hop in our hip hop. thanks to the energizing support and cushioning of dr. scholl's massaging gel insoles, your feet will feel so good... ... you'll want to get up and go.

>>clayton: several former executives at fannie mae and freddie mac under investigation for fraud are having their legal fees paid for by you. that's right. taxpayers being forced to foot the bill for the mortgage giants. and a fellow at stanford hoover institute and author of "throw them all out." nice to see you, peter. >>guest: great to be on with you. >>clayton: how did this happen? >>guest: it is the gift that keeping giving as far as washington insiders, they have agreements and contracts that give them bonuses whether fannie

mae and freddie mac are doing well and they are facing charges for accounting fraud, security fraud, they are having their legal bills paid and the estimate is the tab so far is approximately $200 million. so far. just in legal bills alone and it will probably get larger. >>clayton: this is the total cost to taxpayers since 2008, $183 billion from the federal housing finance agency, so, to be dealer, the same executive whose got us into this mess are now being defended, in court, using lawyers and taxpayers dollars, to defend themselves there they get us into this mess, am i following that logic correctly? >>guest: that is right. and think of this, these executives gottens of millions in bonuses when they were leading the entities, when they were charged with security frauds and accounting regulators

and they get the bonuses. when they left they get golden parachutes and now they are facing legal jeopardy for the horrendous errors in judgment, probably criminal action if some action they are agained by the best pleasures and they do not have to pick up the tab this shows the problem with something like the government-backed entities such as fannie mae and freddie mac there is in accountability because the people who are making the decisions did not have any skin in the game and they can use taxpayer money and it is to their benefit. it is a lesson to learn in the future when we look at these entities and other ideas that people in washington could have about this arrangement. >>clayton: and the former head, franklin rain empties, he

was paid millions in stock options and he walked away with a huge wallet but the taxpayers are having to pay for his legal defense. although he has legal dollars fraudulently, mindboggling. >>guest: that is right. it is like having a credit card you can use, get the boast legal talent, fight for as long as you want, and that is not an option that most business executives or private businessmen in the country have. they don't have the federal government picking up the tab. it is outrageous and the wealth that these executives obtained partly came during this period up until, say, 2004, when fannie mae and freddie mac were fund to be erratically overstating their earning because of accounting irregularities. it is ridiculous. they continue to engage if this behavior and continue to get paid to do so. >>clayton: you summed it up

well, "absolutely ridiculous." thank you, peter, for breaking this down. still ahead, jeb bush saying he used to be a conservative and now saying negativity in the g.o.p. needs to go.

meryl streep "from iran lady." the problem with meryl streep situation is the movie "iran lady," was not well received but the academy loves portrayals of people in history, and i loved the actress in "the help." and supporting actress, and actor, from "the beginners," and from "the help," they swept the awards and they have good chance of taking home an oscar, and it goes down at the 84th annual academy award and billy crystal is back for the 9th time hosting after an 8 year break, and i will be on red carpet tomorrow with a wrap up record on monday so i will see you then the hope everything is going well in new york. >>alisyn: we miss you and look forward to the fashion reports.

>>alisyn: the g.o.p. race is a nasty fight for delegates and a prominent republican is sending a warning to the candidates, keep the rhetoric down. >>clayton: jeb bush said i was a conservative and i watched the debate and i don't think i have changed but it is troubling when people appeal to people's fear and emotion rather than getting temperature to look at a broader perspective. does he have a point? a former deputy assistant to george bush joins us from phoenix. brad, to summarize jeb, he is saying the candidates are playing to people's fears. is that a problem? or does that help get them elected? >>guest: well, he has a point. campaigns would be wise to heed the advice. we have to be selected by the party of you are elected so the candidates have to put their best food further and tell the

difference between what they would do to the country and those seeking the nomination. and the other problem is super pac's who act in the benefit of campaigns but not at the direction of campaigns, so, we also know that negative campaigns do work, and, we have seen that in the polls where those who have the fortunate ability to advertise and show the differences between what they would do and what the opponent would do is very effect i. but it says the an dates are not expressing enough optimism? do you agree? the leader has to tell the american people not only can i get us out of this rut but we will be better for it, and the more optimistic a candidate is

the more hopeful a candidate is better the campaign will be especially in bad economic times. the american people know how bad it is. >>clayton: the past few weeks we have heard from republicans who are saying this is starting to remind me not of obama and clinton so much which they went on to win, of course, but reminding republicans of 1976, ford and reagan. who won? cart other? do you agree or disagree? >>guest: i agree, going against the incumbent is tough enough but with americans facing high gas prices and mortgage foreclosure crisis, and bankruptcies, the last thing they want is to have a campaign of negativity. they want to believe that the leader of their country is going to be one that is optimistic and hopeful that better days are ahead and they are the person who will bring them from there

to prosperity and the better off we would be. >>alisyn: on super tuesday in terms of who wins do you thing they should do away with the negative ads and start being shiny and happy people? >>guest: there is a balance that needs to be struck. negative campaign dozen not necessarily have to be evil, but you need to show the difference between yourself and your opponent. that doesn't mean that negative campaigns have to degenerate into something that is ugly. what it means you have to ball -- balance the negativity. we have not been as positive as we should be in the election process. >>alisyn: coming up, lights out on your own personal property. the war on smokers is going to a new extreme. >> bass pro shops is here to lure us with in the fishing

biden took the light at an event in north carolina. you can see the guy right over the vice-president's shoulder, struggling to stay awake, come on, come on, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. he no. it's all-- oh, there we go. and he's back. so, anyway, this has been a big hit on the internet. >> dave: and you often have to wake up clayton throughout the program. and we're very in touch with what joe biden is going through. >> i think he's deep in thought and maybe bad contact lenses, you know. >> dave: you really want to listen, visualize the speech, close your eyes. that's what we do during that, during weather to really visualize. >> alisyn: yeah. >> dave: the weather throughout the country, rick. >> clayton: there's a storm front, i'd like to know this way. >> sit there and take it all in and see if you can repeat it all. (laughter) >> got going to happen. >> i guess not. here is your temps as you're

waking up, it's cold across the northern plains and down to the south. 38 in dallas, yesterday, you were into the 70's and 80's, across areas of texas and that's changed. cold front moved through and we still have rain across parts of south texas, but a lot of snow falling across the area and the wind moves across the lake and the lake effect snow bands are very, very heavy and you can drive along and hit one of those, be very careful as you're driving there. new storm into the pacific northwest, we have all kinds of winter storm warnings, into idaho, montana and by this afternoon, that moves into the northern plains, we're talking about very heavy snow across parts of the da total kas, as well, north dakota and minnesota and the temps looking like this, cooler than yesterday, but overall, not that bad. all right, guys, repeat? >> the snow on the northern plains, i heard not that bad. >> alisyn: not that bad. >> dave: thank you, rick. do we like overconfidence in our elected officials? newt gingrich took heat by

saying he's going to be the nominee. of course, it may not turn out that way, but the president also issuing a very similar, confident, some say overconfident statement this week. >> alisyn: yeah, basically he said to univision radio that he, look, he hasn't fixed the immigration problem after all he's got another five years in office. that of course ignores the fact that there is a heated presidential race going on right now, but tell us how you interpret his statement. >> my presidency is not over, i've got another five years coming up, we're going to get this done. >> clayton: an election in there and of course you need to get reelected to have more presidency to come back to. >> alisyn: usually. >> clayton: deep press secretary josh earnest taking the podium, talking about this, when asked about these very same thing. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the president is confident that when we get to a vigorous

debate with his republican opponent whose vision is best for the future of this country, about which person will be president over the course of four years, and put in the kind of economic policies that will ensure middle class families get a fair shot and a fair shake and playing by the rules. and the president's vision achieving an economy and a country, to fulfill those values that he's going to win. >> as for the statements he made. immigration is one of the things he said was his first priority after getting into office. and he was going to fix the immigration problem. and hispanics in this country are reminding him of that over and over again and you said were you working about it first and a second term? >> when you're running for president you often express great optimism, obviously, and confidence and mitt romney, in detroit yesterday, said that he's actually the person who has that. >> and i'm not promising that every day is going to be easy or there won't be sacrifice

and hard work, but i'm promising that every day we'll be on a track to get things better and better. i not only think i have the best chance, i have the only chance. new polls out of michigan may suggest they support that claim and suggesting on thursday night. the new rasmussen poll out this morning, 40% of registered primary voters there likely, g.o.p. primary voters, said they were going to go for mitt romney in michigan, and a little bit of a bump and rick santorum was up in michigan earlier in the week and he's fallen. begin grin at 9%, a ron paul 10%. >> alisyn: in daytona, the last time you'll be able to smoke cigarettes in the stands. it will be summer, you can go to the other designated areas. >> clayton: like any other games, you go to the designated. >> alisyn: you've been able to smoke in the stand and may not sit well and said that smoking

at daytona 500 are like peanut butter and jelly. >> dave: start your engines, just don't light up your cigarettes. and meanwhile, smoke em if you've got em. but in california don't smoke if you're near a building, near a park, near a school or in one town. even in your own yard, clayton. >> clayton: the rockland city council respond to go one home owner, one home owner complained of smoke coming from their neighbor's back yard, causing health problems for her kids, she says. so she then said look, i went to the family first, i asked them to stop smoking. can you imagine that, knock on the door, by the way i want to ask you, would you just stop smoking. >> dave: in your yard. >> clayton: in your yard, your smoking is wafting over to the kids area and he she didn't stop smoking and she goes to the city council and they've now proposed they will not allow you to smoke in your own back yard anymore in your own town. >> alisyn: here is what the residents had to say about it.

but on your own property, that's unacceptable. >> so what about people who have children in their home and they don't want to smoke in their home. >> dave: to me that's the important point. if you have children and don't want to smoke in a confined area around them, what are you to do? >> drive to the park. >> dave: no, you can't smoke in the park. >> clayton: drive to a federal building, no, you can't smoke there. >> dave: go to your car, go sit in your car, i don't know. >> clayton: drive to daytona and go to the designated smoking area at the daytona 500. >> alisyn: there you go, that's the answer. let us know what you think about it. and our floor director just said butt out. let us know what your a thinking, if you have a pun. >> dave: there is ate e-mail address this weekend on twitter. >> clayton: and remember the tension on the tarmac. arizona governor jan brewer, now, planning to head to the white house this week for another meeting with the president. how will there one go? governor brewer is next. >> dave: should be cozy. then, shoppers say, bye-bye to

>> arizona governor jan brewer is in washington this week and headed to the white house on monday. we all remember this famous finger pointing incident when the two last had a close encounter on the tarmac during the president's visit to arizona, he so what can we expect this time? joining us now is arizona governor and author of scorpions for breakfast, jan brewer, good morning, governor. >> good morning, alisyn. >> you're in washington for the national governor's association conference where you get together and talk about all of your gubernatorial things and going to the white house on monday.

do you expect a face-to-face with the the president? >> i don't think we'll have a one-on-one conversation, but a group of all the governor are invited to the white house and we talk about the issues, probably, what he wants to talk about more than what we want to talk about. >> alisyn: probably that's true. but if you find yourself face-to-face with the president again, what would you say to him this time? >> well, i would like to tell him about our issues that we're facing in arizona and certainly explain to him what we've done in arizona in regards to turning the economy around. you know, arizona's had a great comeback and what i tried to initiate when i was up in the tarmac with me. but he wasn't too interested in all of that. >> well, speaking of all of these things that you've initiated in arizona, senator chuck schumer has invited you to appear in front of this senate immigration hearing that he's going to be having and he wants to talk to you about the immigration law in arizona. and you have said that you're

not interested in appearing. why not? >> well, i think he's invited me to the party a little late. don't you think? i mean, we're going to hear in the supreme court in april, i mean, i don't know the purpose of why he wants me to come and testify. i frankly believe it he wanted me there, and genuine, he would have invited me long before now, before the supreme court would have, or had accepted the case. >> alisyn: here is what he says. i just want your response it. governor brewer long side that border security is one of the nation's most pressing issues, it's odd she's unwilling to come to congress to defend her views, and makes you wonder whether there's genuine interest in finding real solution toss our broken immigration situation. and we hope the governor will reconsider. what's your response? >> i think he's posturing, of course. it's ridiculous, if you asked me the day before have the bill heard in the supreme court? for what? there's nothing they can do,

the supreme court will be the the ultimate decision and he obviously knows what the issue is. why didn't all of these years earlier, why didn't the congress step up and do something? why didn't they help arizona and the border states in america? and that's the last minute now they want all of this show and tell stuff? you know, i think basically it's more of a publicity stunt and self-serving. >> alisyn: the g.o.p. candidates say they believe what you've done in arizona is a model with a you've done to approach this. >> and you've met with newt gingrich, romney, and which do you think has the best immigration policy? >> i think they're all basically, they have-- they understand the issue. they have solution, i think, and we'd be happy if any of their solutions would be activated, if you will, in arizona. the bottom line, that we need a president, we need someone

that's going to listen to the state and that they're going to represent the people that are feeling the brunt of all of this illegal immigration and the drug cartel. we need our borders secured. we need technology, we need national guards. we need whatever it takes on the border. we can secure borders in other countries, and very, very well, and it ridiculous we can't secure our borders. >> do you plan to endorse one of the g.o.p. candidates? >> i do. >> alisyn: who? >> i'm thinking about that, but i'm going to make an endorsement before tuesday. >> alisyn: that's very soon. you must have a leading candidate that you like. >> well, as the general public, i think, everybody says i like this about this candidate and that about that candidate. can we put those two together? but i've got to choose and i'm going to choose and when that happens i'm going to work really, really hard to make sure they have-- >> are you sure you don't feel like announcing before monday.

>> i'd love to do it, alisyn, i haven't totally made up my mind. >> alisyn: are you going to meet with ron paul. >> my office tried to reach out to congressman paul and i don't know if they've heard from him. i don't think he's in d.c. we'll see, maybe he'll contact me and leave a message. >> alisyn: governor jan brewer thanks for your time this morning, we appreciate it and feel free to come back when you have any sort of announcement that you want to make. it's always good to see you. >> thank you, alisyn. >> alisyn: coming up the irs has more than a billion dollars to give out. could you be one of the many taxpayers waiting for a check? we'll explain how you get it next. and then he's the star of many girls dreams. nfl quarter tim tebow. how did our next guest land a date with him? we'll ask her next. ♪ please be my, be my little baby ♪ ♪ be my darling
